You Can't Fail Me Now Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I know that fan is movin' air

2 I can see it in your hair

3 But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow

4 I'll rise and fall with you

5 'Cause you can't fail me now

6 I'll rise and fall with you

7 'Cause you can't fail me now

8 Salty sweet upon my mouth

9 And dark throws sparks against my house

10 The stain of love's a smudge upon my brow

11 But you see through me

12 And you can't fail me now

13 You see right through me

14 You can't fail me now

15 Bit off more than I can chew

16 Somethin' that I tend to do

17 But fewer words are what we need and how

18 You bite my tongue

19 You can't fail me now

20 I rant and rail

21 Oh, you can't fail me now

22 I lost the thread among the vines

23 And hung myself in storylines

24 That tell a tale I never would allow

25 God knows the name of every bird

26 It fills my mind like angry words

27 That you know all my secret heart avows

28 We're taught to love the worst of us

29 Mercy more than life but, trust me,

30 Mercy's just a warnin' shot across the bow

31 I live for yours

32 And you can't fail me now

33 I live for your mercy

34 You can't fail me now

35 You can't fail me now
